Hello everyone, I am Doctor Mi

We officially enter the autumnal equinox solar term
Beginning of autumn-headed heat-white dew- Autumn equinox -cold dew-frost fall
Ancient people said: "The autumnal equinox is half of yin and yang, so the day and night are even while the cold and heat are even."
The so-called autumnal equinox has three meanings:
is to divide the autumn colors equally, autumn is half over unknowingly
is to divide the day and night equally, the day is as long as the night
is to half of the yin and yang, the yin energy gradually becomes stronger and the yang energy gradually fades
The old rules, let’s start with the autumnal equinox three times:
A time when thunder begins to stop sound
Ancient people believed that thunder was voiced because of the strong yang energy
After the autumnal equinox, the yang energy gradually weakened, and the yin energy was strong
Seldom thunder would hit after the autumnal equinox.
zealous insect household:
"blank" is fine mud
"blank household "Build a house like a bricklayer
The insects came out of the cave during the Jingzhe
Played for a summer
Go back to my hometown to repair a house and build a nest
Preparation for winter
Third-term water began to dry up:
Autumnal equinox, The water vapor is no longer as abundant as in summer
The water volume of lakes and rivers will also become smaller
The weather is drier
Especially in the south, we can finally say goodbye to the wet
Generally speaking, after the autumnal equinox, the yang energy of heaven and earth gradually shrinks, the yin energy gradually grows , The yang energy of the human body must also be restrained .
The autumnal equinox officially opened "Five Qi", the main energy is Yangming and dry metal, the polite Sun is cold water, and the dry air still runs through the entire autumn.
As the yang heat dissipates, the cold air follows. This cold autumn, which is destined to be a little "cool and dry" , will be more obvious.
From the perspective of the five elements and six qi, the entire year of Renyin is too much wood, and in the second half of the year, Jueyin wind wood is in the spring. Too much wood will lead to frequent wind energy.
"Zunsheng Bajian" says: "The beginning of autumn is metal; autumnal equinox, gold is prosperous ; the beginning of winter is resting." With the arrival of the autumnal equinox, the metal energy (main lung) has also reached its peak.
Lung is a very delicate organ that likes moisturis but hates dryness. Wind + dryness + cold is the easiest to invade the lungs . First it affects the skin and hair, resulting in dryness and roughness; further it will damage the internal organs and consume qi, blood and yin fluid.
Traditional medicine believes that man and heaven and earth correspond, so how should we maintain health after the autumnal equinox?
mainly revolves around the principles of "raising and raising Yin" .
. Sleep with a "beauty sleep", knock your teeth and swallow your body and nourish your yin
The "Huangdi Neijing" mentioned that in March autumn, you should "lie down early and get up early, and be happy with the chicken." The best way to maintain health is to follow the sun's work and rest.
For example, it has been dark early recently, and many people will feel that the time to get sleepy is also advanced. This is the "small world" of the human body that conforms to the changes in the yin and yang of the world.
We first have to stay up late and say "break up" . Try to go to bed early. Sleep is the easiest way to "nurture essence and energy", so that the yang energy returns to yin and nourish the yin blood and body fluids. Getting up early can better adapt to the rise and development of yang energy and nourish lung energy.
After getting up, can do teeth knocking and swallowing .Traditional Chinese medicine uses saliva to become "golden and jade liquid", which is the material basis of life, just like essence and blood, and can nourish the internal organs.
. Always laugh and relieve your lungs. When you are freezing in autumn, you should "loosen away from the wind"
"Huangdi Neijing" also talks about the way to nourish and harvest in March autumn. It is also necessary to "make peace of mind, slow down the punishment of autumn, and restrain your spirit." In short, it is necessary to "receive", to maintain peace, peace and tranquility of the mind, and to alleviate the constraints of autumn and cold autumn on the human body.
Specifically, A "Looking at the Lung" . The Autumn Qi is solemn and killing, which can easily cause the lung Qi to be depressed and dissipate the Qi Yin. And joy can overcome sorrow, So in autumn, you should say "break up" with depression , do more happy things, smile more, and keep a happy mood at any time.
How much deeper should you take. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs control qi and control breathing. People can go out to feel the refreshing autumn air, breathe more the clear air from nature, exhale the turbid air in the body, exhale the turbid air in the body, and fill the lungs with turbid air.
Three things to pay attention to avoiding the wind. This year, the wood is too high, and the wind is frequent. Pay attention to avoid the wind when going out to avoid the "evil and evil wind" taking advantage of the situation. Although it is "autumn freezing", it is not about being frozen, but about not covering too much. Wear thin clothes to keep warm to avoid sweating too much and the yang energy leaks out and cannot be hidden.
. Eat should be warm and nourish the skin and internal organs
This year is the year of Renyin, and it is becoming late autumn. The feeling of coolness is even heavier, and you should also adjust your diet accordingly.
First we want to break up with Hanliang Guaguo! The so-called "autumn melon damages the belly", one is that coldness damages the spleen yang, and the other is that it helps spleen dampness. When the spleen and stomach have digested the raw and cold fruits of summer, it is time to let it take a rest.
This stage is suitable for seasonal warm foods. It is recommended to everyone -
. Tremella lily soup
In foods that nourish yin, Tremella is relatively calm, moist but not cold, sweet but not greasy, and nourish but not stagnant.
It has a good effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, nourishing the stomach and promoting fluid, and it is also a "affordable bird's nest" that moistens the skin, beautify the skin.
People with yin deficiency can often drink Tremella soup. If the cough is severe in autumn, it can be combined with lily that expectorant and moisturize the lungs;
If the spleen and stomach are weak and cold, you can also add some longan to make Tremella lily longan soup, which enhances the effect of replenishing blood, nourishing the heart, and calming the mind.
. Almond yam porridge
Autumnal equinox is also very suitable for eating almonds. It has sweet taste and warm nature, which can moisturize the lungs and relieve cough, and moisturize the intestines and relieve bowel movements.
For example, if the autumn is dry and often suffers from dry cough, intestines and constipation, you can eat more sweet almonds.
If the spleen and stomach are weak, you can cook almonds and yam to porridge. Yam can not only replenish the spleen and lung qi, but also benefit the lung and kidney yin. It is very suitable for people with long-term cough and spleen deficiency.
. Rice porridge oil
A pot of clean water and simmer slowly over low heat, which is the simplest recipe for nourishing yin.
The so-called "grain is nourishing", japonica rice can nourish the spleen and stomach, and fill the qi and blood of the five internal organs. After boiling into rice oil, the color is white and enters the lungs, which not only nourishes yin and lung qi, but also greatly nourishes body fluids, nourishes yin and fills the essence.
Especially for children with weak spleen and stomach and weak constitution, they are prone to dry stools and can drink some rice oil every day.
On the one hand, it nourishes yin and produces fluid, and on the other hand, it nourishes the spleen and stomach, making the qi and blood biochemical powerful.
Finally, I would like to give you a tip: This year, affected by the Five Elements and Six Qi Jueyin Fengmu, there are many anxiety and depression. Remember to pay attention to nourishing water and harboring wood, nourishing the kidneys and nourishing the liver, and the liver and kidneys are used to nourish !
Autumnal equinox is the dividing point between cold and warm, yin and yang, day and night, the end point from cultivating to harvest, and the starting point from "raising and harvesting" to "raising and raising".
only needs to do the simplest thing, adapt to the time and nourish the body and mind. On this path of practice in life, the heavens and man can naturally correspond to each other, and only in autumn and winter can we get less sick and leave no root of illness.
